Hi all, this is my first time on the forum, as I just received my Alyseum AL-88c. I'm very excited about the possibilities of it and especially the Copperlan manager, it seems to be the solution for about every midi need I have. However, I ran into some problems when setting it all up. I have a 2010 iMac, with OSX 10.6.8. I installed the Copperlan manager, and then connected the Alyseum to the Ethernet port of my Mac. The green light is shining on the Alyseum, the orange light is blinking and I see 4 Vmidi instances in Ableton, but in the Copperlan manager there is no Ethernet interface shown. It is probably my very limited knowledge in IT, but did I miss something? I would be very grateful for any help on this

Hi Phil, thanks for answering so quickly. I have the latest version, downloaded this morning. I rebooted several times after installing, with no luck. My Mac is connected to the internet via WIFI, I have an audio interface connected via Firewire and some usb devices like printer etc.In the Copperlan Manager I just have blank pages, nothing shows at all.

So it looks like one of the CopperLan daemons is frozen for some reason... Can you unplug all USB/Firewire/Thunderbolt devices, then kill the processes cpvnmd and cpuserd (or reboot the Mac if you think it's easier).

BTW you plan to control your AL-88 through WIFI, right? I just want you to be sure that you are aware that WIFI induces a lot of latency/jitter. If you expected tight timing, then it would be better to use a cabled network between the Mac and the AL-88.

I unplugged everything, except the cable from the ethernet out of the mac to the Alyseum and rebooted. Still nothing in the Manager.I'm not planning to run it through wifi, I would like to run it as describer above, with a cable between Mac and Alyseum. I understood from the Alyseum website that was possible, although the website is a little vagua about the details.

beside the fact that using it via Wifi is not a low-latency and jitter-free solution it should work and can be very useful for some applications - it doesn't show the vmidi-ports if i choose my wifi adapter instead of my ethernet
